On The Late Late Show With James Corden, Duhamel described the first time he met the singer, when The Black Eyed Peas performed on his TV show, Las Vegas. "I was really nervous," admitted the 42-year-old. "It was like my moment of truth. I laid out my outfit the night before, which I'd never done in my life. So it was a big buildup when I finally got to talk to her, and all I could say was, 'You're hot.' "
